Great Experience combining farmers market and boat picnic. - Great experience! Tried many delicacies I never would have known about on my own. Aurelian was an entertaining and informative guide. Plenty to eat and the time on the boat was super chill enjoying the local treats.

Great Bordeaux Farmer's Market and River tour experience! - Our experience was amazing! Aurelien, our guide was personable, passionate and very informative. We visited a shop specific to the foods of Bordeaux, which we enjoyed very much, and then strolled the Farmer's Market. Afterwards, we travelled the River and enjoyed a delicious variety of oysters and snacks procured by Aurelien from the farmer's market that day, but prior to our tour. It was very hot, and the market had closed earlier than expected which was a bit of a bummer for us as we wished to return to make some more purchases. But, there was time to purchase things while on the tour, and the fact it was so hot and the market closed early was no fault of Aurelien. My husband and I, and our two young adult children went on the tour, and we all enjoyed it very much! We would all highly recommend it!

Farmers Market and River Cruise excursion - Our tour was amazing. Aurelien was so friendly and fun! It was educational and enjoyable. We could go at a nice pace at the market, and learned some history of Bordeaux. The river cruise was very nice and the snacks, including the oysters-all from the market we visited, were delicious and “hit the spot”. A beautiful way to experience Bordeaux!

A real gourmet experience - This is the second time I’ve been on an Aurelien visit, and it was another great experience! This time with the family, we discovered a lot of local products that we did not know, the visit to the market was great and we enjoyed a cruise on the Garonne where we tasted the products of the market! I recommend 100%

Outstanding and tasty Bordeaux experience - This was a great and varied Bordeaux experience for 9 of us for our mum’s 80th birthday. Aurélien was an exceptional host and has build a fantastic experience with this trip. The visit to the boutiques and farmers market was lovely and the private boat trip was an awesome and very special experience to celebrate as a family. Couldn’t recommend this more! Just excellent

A unique and tasty experience in Bordeaux! - We had a great time thanks to Aurélien! It is an original, gourmet and friendly way to discover Bordeaux, its specialties and its history. The products were delicious, Aurélien’s passion and anecdotes made the visit lively and fun, and the view of Bordeaux from the Garonne was simply magnificent: a perfect mix to savour the city otherwise! Thank you again Aurélien for this delicious and authentic moment:)
